(B. Simpson/D. Lee)

No One Thought That I'd Jump Off That Rocky Ledge
So I Did, And I Broke My Leg
And I Let Jim Beam Tell Me I Could Take Some Guy
Twice My Size, But Old Jim Lied
I Can't Pretend That I Aint Been My Life's Own Wrecking Crew
And I'm Surprised That I've Survived All I Put Myself Through

Before I Knew Better
Before I Woke Up
I Did A Whole Lotta Crazy Foolish Things I'm Not Proud Of
It Was Just Like Me To Risk It All
Even When The Pain Outweighed The Pleasure
Before I Knew Better

You Were The First To Ever Make Me Wanna Change
My Reckless Ways And I Almost Did
But Somehow I Lost Track And Wound Up Giving In
To The Late Night Life And The Good Time Friends
You Swore To Me One Day You'd Leave And All I Had To Say
Was There's The Door What You Waiting For
And Who Needs You Anyway

Before I Knew Better
Before I Woke Up
I Said A Whole Lotta Crazy Foolish Things I'm Not Proud Of
It Was Just Like Me To Risk It All
Even When The Pain Outweighed The Pleasure
Before I Knew Better

Girl I Pray Somehow, Someway We Can Turn This Thing Around
I Thought Your Love Was Something I Could Live Without
Before I Knew

Before I Knew Better
Before I Woke Up
I Said A Whole Lotta Crazy Foolish Things I'm Not Proud Of
It Was Just Like Me To Risk It All
Even When The Pain Outweighed The Pleasure
Before I Knew Better
Before I Knew Better
Before I Knew Better
Before I Knew Better
